    Solar-Ready 5th Wheel and proprietary port

    Hi all, so I'm ready to go for solar. I like the Renogy 200 Watt Eclipse. I've read on there site that it only hooks directly to the battery. That stinks since my Flagstaff 529BH 5er has the plug in spot. And I can't hardly pick up those batteries. Someone said you have to pull them out of...

    New 5th Wheel Rough Ride

    This summer I upgraded from a 33' bumper pull to a new 36' Rockwood 2891BH 5th wheel. One thing I have noticed is how rough the ride is with my new 5th wheel. The day I drove off the dealers lot with with my camper the heavy glass insert popped off the fireplace on my 30 minute ride home. I...

    First 5th Wheel

    Although we still like to think of ourselves as "campers" we're looking to upgrade from a pull behind to our first 5th Wheel. Keeping it small so we can still get into some of the National Forest Campgrounds in Colorado and such, we're strongly considering a new Cougar 24RDS (it's just the two...

    5th Wheel King Pin Stabilizer Jack

    My 295rsx fifth wheel rv is horrible when it comes to being stable when people are walking inside it or in bed moving around, I used to have JT Strong arms on my older RV and it worked well. Does anyone else have this issue? Is the 5th Wheel King Pin Stabilizer Jacks any good? Mike

    5th wheel hitch - plugging ball hole?

    I've got a BW Companion hitch in the bed of my truck. I need to get some mulch so I took it out. How do you guys plug up the hole when you want to use the bed of your truck to haul something loose? I was thinking of just taping some cardboard over it? There has to be a smarter way though!

    Lippert Solid Step on 2008 Everest 5th wheel

    Well I know the Moryde wont fit, the dealer did a test fit with their tool and it wont fit my 2008 Everest. I see that that Lippert has come out with the Solid Step and it looks a bit different. I wondered if any Everest Owners has tried it yet? Thanks

    Cherokee 255rr 5th Wheel Toy Hauler

    i can't bump an old thread. The 255rr really peaks my interest due to it being a lighter 5'er toy hauler and not being 40' long at the same time. Does it ride well? I've seen the newer units now can come with a bed that comes down from the ceiling in the back! Do the older units come with the...

    Gelcoat 5th Wheels

    So this past week I was up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at a county park and saw another Gelcoat 5th wheel. In the 15 years we have had this 5th wheel we have never seen another 5th wheel similar to ours until last week. I was so excited to see one and hoped to talk to the owners but did...

    5th wheel rear living

    Perhaps looking at a different camper. It is a ~30' rear living. The rear living area has one of the two chairs obstructed completely by the kitchen counter and the sofa in the slide is 90 degrees from the TV. How do folks with this type floor plan watch TV?

    2020 5th wheel Turning Point hitch

    Hello Everyone, Just picked up my Rockwood/Signature 29 ft 5th wheel. I noticed the Turning Point Pin Box really bounces when I hit a dip. My past 5th wheel didn't bounce like that. I'm wondering is it about the extended tongue. I also saw about on utube about a wedge block that did not come...

    5th wheel to Truck bed rails

    My Curt hitch states min of 5 1/2 “ between the rig and my truck bed rails. I have the hitch as high as it goes and I have 5” clearance. Do I really need to adjust the king pin or do something else to get the additional 1/2”?

    Backflushing the black on a 5th wheel

    My previous trailer was a tag a long, the grey on one side of the dump, the black on the other so backflushing when draining was easy and I rarely used the black tank flush, the grey tank would do a really good job of breaking up whatever was stuck in the black tank. I now have a 5th wheel that...

    TV antenna disconnected 2018 25RES 5th Wheel

    For the second time my cable has come unplugged at the antenna. To find it and reattach I have to remove all the sealant, pull the mount, and reassemble. Anyone else have this problem? I think I will use loctite and shrink tube this time. Not a big tv watching camper, but I don’t think I...
